Silvercore has been providing bear safety training to industry professionals, both in person as well as online, for many years, but this marks the first time we speak with someone who survived a horrific grizzly bear attack by using his pocket knife.

In episode 9, we sit down and talk with Colin Dowler, who shares in detail his harrowing experience of grit and tenacity. Colin is sharing his story to increase the knowledge base of bear behaviour and bear encounters. He hopes that we all become more aware of potential dangers and become adequately educated and prepared before entering into bear country.

Please note that sections of this episode deal with intense and graphic content, listener discretion is advised.
